Kelly Preston Joins John Travolta in 'Gotti'

John Travolta is keeping his family close for the mob movie 'Gotti: Three Generations.'

Real-life wife Kelly Preston has just been cast as Victoria, the on-screen spouse to Travolta's John Gotti. She joins their 11-year-old daughter, Ella Bleu, who'll be playing the Gottis' daughter, Angel.

And the real-life connections don't stop there. Marc Fiore, the movie's producer, explained why he wanted Preston for the role: "They have a lot in common [with the Gottis]. They both lost a child at a young age, and they understand what the Gottis went through when the Gottis lost their child."
